Interesting second destination. I would think bigger programs would be in play here

You’d think him having another visit lined up means ND is passing on him?

I dont see ND passing. If anything he would probably be the one passing.

One really odd way I've found to figure out who ND is likely going after and possibly landing is looking at Riley Leonard's recent follows on IG.

Weird, yes. But it's no shock that 99% of them are ND guys. So yeah, he's pretty much a lock at this point.

He's also followed a few prominent names in the transfer portal. Kris Mitchell obviously. But he also followed Beaux Collins, CJ Daniels from Liberty but also, he recently followed Juice Wells from South Carolina.

Sounds to me like ND has a pool of grad transfers and they're looking to load up on them. I wouldn't be surprised if they try and nab 2 from the group of Collins, Daniels, Wells and Kelly.

Now... Hear me out.

(I know that's cliche, but seriously)

I'm sure I'm not alone in literally dreaming that one day... we'd have someone who can convince enough people that being a part of ND football to make one real run at the Ship. Like make them believe and see what kind of legacy it would leave.

That's all it would take. Just one real honest go at it. But someone, maybe MF is the guy?

Maybe... just maybe... this is it. A big time defense along with a bunch of hired guns on offense with the hard nose thing weve always had? Maybe?

Maybe the portal has allowed ND to erect another statue sooner than later?

I've lived a long life. I wanna see one more natty.

II podcast they said the targets were 2WR, 2DB, 1QB, 1DE, 1OT

We’ve got a combo here.

rtrn2glory · Dec 6, 2023

Really wish Kelly would've stuck around for the Leonard visit

Lberry · Dec 6, 2023

Loy - the bulk of Josh Kelly's visit will be today. He got in late last night (after 7pm).

Lberry · Dec 6, 2023

Loy - name to know is Vandy's Nate Clifton. In 2023, Clifton had 30 tackles, 5.5 sacks and an INT.

My observation - everyone we've targeted is a Captain. Kris Mitchel, Riley Leonard, Josh Kelly, Jordan Clark. I'm unsure about Beaux Collins.

Good observation. I worry about the disparity in leadership on this team between the defense and the offense

Would’ve led the Irish defense in sacks this year

That's wild. A good sign, and an advantage of the grad transfer route (also a sign of the times that all these captains, who presumably would be captains on their teams again next year, are moving on.)

Leonard's IG follows have been widely reported on here. its not odd or weird or new.

I'm impressed. I haven't been in every thread, but I've noticed some of your recent posts are providing more substance than bitching.

Wait until the new coaches & new transfers don’t make a mistake.

This is the process and Notre Dame has positioned itself to be a strong player. It's even more imperative that ND capitalize on these investments to convince the donors this is a fruitful venture. We really need a strong season that can give Marcus even more firepower on the recruiting trail.

But love the recent surge ND is making in this domain.

Getting the victory in the Sun Bowl is a bigger deal than we're probably giving it credit for. Getting that 10th win is a factor, going into 2024 on a program winning streak, getting some younger guys real reps against Oregon State as a prelude to spring ball. I think everyone felt pretty damn good after beating South Carolina in last year's bowl.

A 10 win season for Marcus in year two is a positive building block to cement into the foundation. I know some may not feel that way, but that's probably the minority both on this board and abroad.

Auburn and Washington are on him

Multiple Ivy League offers out of HS. If ND pursues him hopefully they push academics.

From your lips to God’s ears. I want to believe.

Agreed. Fuck perception. I want 10 wins

This is where I'm at. Will this season be looked back at as a disappointment? Sure. But imo, this is where nd fans should be when a 10 win season is disappointing. If we're a real player in the portal this year and beyond, down seasons should all but be eliminated, barring horrible luck with injuries at key positions.

So get 10 wins this year and accelerate the development of a bunch of young fellas replacing opt outs that we'llcount on next season.

This bowl season can be enjoyable, if you view it through that lense.

Huntr · Dec 6, 2023

With other transfer QBs announcing their commitments over the last few days, I'd really like to see Leonard get locked in and announce for ND today.

Was just getting ready to ask this

zelezo vlk · Dec 6, 2023

So why isn’t he declaring for the draft? Is the NIL money that much better than getting a late round contract?
